 3 reviewsRoasted Yellowtail with a Sauce Vierge Recipe. A light and crispy fish dish with hints of licorice from a fennel seed flavored seasoning. The fish is gently seared and then roasted to bring out it true flavor. A simple Sauce Vierge accompanies the fish and plays a supporting role to add an additional but not overpowering layer of flavor.
